Thread: Classy lightweight takedown

[QUOTE=joelhenton;928550]

@akaroa1 I've been out of this thread for a bit and I like your solution! This is actually how I used it on my hike, albeit I removed the grip plate permanently and used an allen key for disassembly. Then I could pack my Contender discreetly when I needed to resupply food in towns. This is probably a more convenient method I think because as you know the tighter the hinge pin the accuracy potential improves. So it can be a bit of a pain to remove the hinge pin without a punch or something. Since I don't have the G2 in my safe anymore I'm not sure if the G1 and G2 stock screws are the same dimensions?


The screw is 1/4" x 20 TPI and its 32mm long on the G2.
I would expect the G1 will be the same screw but the other sizes might need to be fiddled with just a little bit.

As I have made this the parallel section is 16mm diameter and 40mm long and I will knurl the last 15mm or so.
There is 20mm of float between the inside face of the grip cap and the shoulder inside for the captive screw to be contained inside
